It's Christmas time and Santa and Banta decided to go look for a Christmas Tree.

They gathered their axe, a sled, and a broom to brush the trees off so they can get a good look at them. When they finally reach a fine stand of trees, Santa brushes off the first tree, and stands back with Banta to look at it.

"Well, Banta, What do you think?"

"Sorry, Santa, this tree won't do. Let's try another one".

They come upon another nice tree, Santa brushes it off, and they both look at it.

"How about this one?"

"Not quite, Santa. Let's keep looking".

This goes on until nightfall. Both Santa and Banta are cold, tired, and hungry.

"Well, Santa, what do we do now?"

"Banta, I think we should take home the next tree we find, whether it has lights on it or not..."
